Default Windshield Reveal Molding

I need to replace my windshield and need the outer reveal moldings and can only find a left side from ecklers and not sure if its correct. Can anyone help me locate these 3 moldings? Just to be clear they are the small metal molding that are black that goes around the windshield

Long out of stock and discontinued. HARD to find . Yes, they should be replaced with new windshield but 90% of the time, a good windshield place will and can re use your old ones. I have had several c4 windshields replaced with it reused.

I owned a glass shop for many years and I always saved the moldings. Reveal the screws from the inboard side of the trim. leave the rubber in the trim piece and let them hang. The top one will fold back over the top opening. Handle with care.

When I had to have my windshield redone this part was very difficult for them to order, and very expensive.

If you take your time, the moldings are not a problem to get off. You need a good scraper and a putty knife to get underneath them so you don't bend them.

A reputable glass installer should have no issue with them.

The last pricing I saw on these 3 pieces was in the high $300.00 range. Finding new ones are almost impossible and good salvaged ones are about the same. Find a shop that can remove them with out damage. Good Luck
